Cubic elimination at a nilpotent double-zero point

ID: cubic-elimination-at-a-nilpotent-double-zero-point

For a vector field with linear part , and cubic terms , write with homogeneous cubic . The transformed cubic field is , where . Taking the coefficients of to be and those of to be eliminates every cubic term in and the terms in . The remaining normal form is , through cubic order. The invariant damping coefficient contains the contribution from differentiating the first equation.
